I think you are one of the few people I have encountered who actually feels
the same way I do. Most survivors I talk to would give anything to live
their childhood years over again, free of abuse and pain. Perhaps I am more
of a masochist than I care to admit, but in a warped sort of way, I wear my
"battle scars" as badges of honour. They have made me determined. They have
made me strong, and I know I am a survivor. The pain I endured has also
made me acutely aware of how tender and fragile young hearts are, and I have
vowed to make my children feel loved and cherished every moment of every
day.

I too suffered the most in my family of origin. However, I have taken much
of the hardship I have endured and made it work to my advantage. Like you I
made healing a priority. I had to, or the pain would have swallowed me
whole. I have had many deaths and rebirths in my life and I regret none of
them :-)

The following simple words always help me when I feel overwhelmed
emotionally:

" Pain makes one think. Thought makes one wise. Wisdom makes life endurable"

Love and blessings,
Lady Scorpianna
